Description arne anka 2007-01-12 15:04:23 UTC

Version:           0.12.3 (using KDE 3.5.5, Debian Package 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5 (4.0))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17.6

got repeatedly disconnected from icq, but kopete tried reconnecting automatically. finally a popup said something like "account blocked from server for 10 minutes because of reconnecting to fast".
while i think it is one of the well known problems of icq.com that i am repeatedly disconnected, i think kopete should have an internal intervall (or even a configurable one) how fast it tries to reconnect and a max number of connects before giving up, thus preventing the user from getting blocked by icq.com because of too much and too fast reconnects.

Confirmed.

Comment 2 Moritz Ulmer 2009-08-31 07:23:51 UTC

Confirmed. Is this a global bug or only limited to slower internet connections?

Its a global Bug.
I have sometimes problems on PC's with mbit/gbit connection.
Sometimes it run 2 hours, sometimes it reconnect so often and i'm banned for 10 min.
Maybe a wrong answer to the icq Server or something similar.
